SGE delivers sealed Pre-Start Health and Safety Reviews, safeguarding risk assessments, dust hazard analyses and commissioning verification for Ontario's industrial floors — with reports your Ministry inspector, your insurer and your JHSC can all actually use.
Tick anything that applies to your new or modified equipment.
Section 7 of Regulation 851 lists the circumstances that trigger a review in an Ontario factory. Most plants trip at least one without realising it.
Indicative only. A formal trigger determination is made by the reviewing professional engineer against the full Table to section 7 — and we do that at no charge.
Six practice areas, one engineering file. If a piece of equipment needs a seal before it runs, it falls somewhere on this list.
The full PSR: trigger determination, site inspection, standards gap analysis, sealed report and a plain-language deficiency list your team can actually close out.
Risk assessment and guard design for presses, conveyors, robots, CNC and custom builds. We specify the protective measure, then verify it performs to the required level.
Combustible dust is the hazard most Ontario plants underestimate. We characterise the material, map the flame and explosion hazards, and give you a ranked mitigation plan.
Collector siting, venting, isolation and suppression reviewed against the standard — plus the documentation your insurer keeps asking for.
Independent Cx attendance and functional testing witnessing, so the record of what actually happened on site is written by an engineer, not the installer.
Testing, adjusting and balancing verification on ventilation and dust systems, plus field load testing on anchorage for racking, guarding and equipment.
Four questions to size the job. You get an indicative timeline and a list of exactly what to send us — then it drops straight into the request form.
Indicative only — a firm fixed fee follows the free scope call. Rush turnarounds are available when a start-up date is at risk.
Search the codes and standards behind our findings. If you've been handed a clause number and don't know what it means, start here.
Nothing matched that. Try a broader term, or ask us directly — we'll tell you which standard governs your situation.
Five stages, fixed fee, and you know where you stand before we leave the building.
Twenty minutes on the phone with drawings or photos. We confirm which triggers apply and quote a fixed fee.
Manuals, electrical schematics, control system architecture and prior reports go through desk review before anyone travels.
Measurements, control verification and hands-on testing with your operators and maintenance lead present.
Findings referenced to the clause, ranked by risk, each with a specific corrective measure — not a vague recommendation.
We re-verify the corrections and issue the compliance confirmation your file needs before the equipment runs.
We started SGE because too many reviews arrive as a PDF full of clause numbers and no way forward. A report you can't act on isn't engineering.
You hear the critical items on site the same day, so remediation starts while the contractor is still on the floor.
Every finding names the clause, the risk, the specific fix and who typically owns it. Your JHSC can read it without an engineering degree.
Based in Eastern Ontario, on site anywhere from Ottawa to Windsor. Rural plants get the same turnaround as the 401 corridor.
Quoted per apparatus or per line before we mobilise. If the scope changes on site, you approve it before it's billed.
The engineer who quotes your project is the engineer on your floor and the engineer whose seal goes on the report.
Shutdown windows, weekend installs and night commissioning. We work when the line is down, because that's when it matters.
Twelve years of files across Ontario's industrial base.
SGE is a two-principal firm on purpose. You get senior engineers on site, not a junior with a checklist.
Mahmoud runs SGE's field program — scheduling, site execution and the discipline that keeps reports moving from inspection to seal. His background spans machine safeguarding, industrial ventilation and multi-site compliance programs for manufacturers across Ontario, with a project management practice built on shutdown windows that don't move.
Carson leads the technical practice: risk assessment methodology, dust hazard analysis, explosion protection and the standards interpretation behind every finding SGE issues. His work bridges process safety and building systems, which is why SGE handles ventilation, commissioning and TAB verification as engineering — not as an afterthought.
Send the equipment details and we'll come back with a scope and a fixed fee — usually the same business day. If a start-up date is at risk, call instead.
